We all do some pretty dorky things in our time. Whether it be waiting two hours to get an autograph from William Shatner or cosplaying as one of your favorite Star Wars characters, dorkiness never escapes us. Hacking a video game to propose marriage is another feat that tops our list. A guy who goes by the handle TheRealPfhreak hacked a Chrono Trigger SNES ROM to propose his love to his girlfriend.

In the game, a golden knight spawns on top of one of the mountains in 1000 AD and begins to rant about a woman he loves. It just so happens that TheRealPfhreak’s girlfriend was playing and stumbled upon the golden night who revealed his love to the player herself. Talk about breaking down the fourth wall.

I thought I was a Dark Knight fan. I have the fly joker kicks, the sweet action figures to play with and I even have bat wings tattooed in place of my eyebrows so people know I’m a real fan. But no, that wasn’t good enough. Some other fan boy had to out shine me and now, the tattoos bring nothing but ridicule.

Thanks a lot Bob Dullam. You just had to go and build the Batman Tumbler all by yourself, showing everyone that your fanboyism can’t be outdone.  Just you wait, Dullam. Next year, when Watchmen comes out, I’m going to build the most eye-popping Watchmen vehicle ever.  Wait, what does the Night Owl drive?

If you’ve been living under a rock for the past week then you probably missed out on the news about The Dark Knight being an amazing film and achieving the critical success that was expected of it. So, of course they’re going to release every known merchandise that exists into a Dark Knight theme. Like poker? So does the Joker. No, not the dead one, the timeless comic book variety.

The Dark Knight Joker Poker set is limited edition and ships in August and costs $85. Included is a deck of Joker gimmick cards as well as another four suit deck and poker chips defaced by the Joker, himself (not the dead one). Have a lousy poker face that isn’t fooling anyone? Simple solution: the Joker solution. Cut a smile into your cheeks, no one will no whether or not you’re serious, they’ll just know you’re psychotic.

Oh snap! The Dark Knight is just around the corner and if you’re as psyched about it as I am you’d have already purchased your ticket.

So stop the press. Fucking stop it. Behold, 12″ figures resembling the Batman and his ensemble of teched out transports. These replicas are of the highest detail of any Batman toy I’ve ever seen. Look at Batman’s face, he looks like he’s Christian Bale rendezvousing with a call girl. He’s got business and it’s not with the Joker. Coming soon in late 2008.
